He had been granted his 48 hours’ leave effective immediately instead of having to wait for the expected 10 days. With a grim smile, he fingered the brisk army note.

U-BOAT TRAP BACKFIRES WITH HEAVY LOSSES. “It was announced today by the Admiralty that a major assault on an incoming convoy was repulsed with heavy losses suffered by the Nazis. At least five U-boats were destroyed,” the account stated, “and 12 enemy bombers and fighters downed in one of the fiercest engagements of short duration seen in the war to date. “The Admiralty admitted that the force and co-ordination of the enemy attack would indicate that a trap had been set for the convoy, but the Navy had no intention of allowing ‘any more Jervis Bay tragedies.’ “No indication was given of the size of the British escort or of the whereabouts of the attack, but it was stated that some of the planes

F. has devised a signal system that has checkmated the latest Hitlerian device. “Except for one fighter which failed to return from the engagement, the only loss suffered by the British forces was some damage to a destroyer and the sinking of a trawler, the Loch Lomond. The gallant skipper, whose name hsd not yét been ascertained as this

It was point-blank range, and the trawler was severely hit several times, sinking before achieving its evident purpose to ram the U-boat which was later captured by the destrover. No survivors of the Loch Lomond have been reported.” = = 2 ROLLINS SMILED SADLY to himself. He was recalling the ruddy-faced Scot who had stood on the bridge and waved merrily as he passed the troop ships back in the Canadian port while the men sang the song suggested by the painted-over name on the bow. “To Simpson’s, driver, and {there's no hurry.” He settled back {in the darkness, then leaned for- { tapping the glass. {Could you drive me, instead, to a restaurant on Greek Street in the Soho? It's called the ‘Welcome Snail” In the gloom of the cab, Rollins’ face was lined with a whimsical smile. This would have been a glorious night if he had been on his way to a meeting with Joan. He shook his head. tearing open wounds that had cut deeply into his very being. (Te Be Concluded) ( AR events, an aad acaters in this
